Our Favorite Flipnotes from last weeks Topic "Reindeer"

In this festive winning Flipnote by Vinyboiler Super Mario’sYoshi is transformed into Rudolf the Reindeer, riding not a Kart, but Santa’s sleigh.

Sporting a fine pair of antlers and a bright red nose Yoshi really looks the part, as does the sleigh, drawn in 3D with great detail and diverse paintbrush shading.

The classic Christmas song “Rudolf The Red Nosed Reindeer” is given a personalized Flipnote makeover in this Topic winning MV by Jared.

Scored with audio sung by its creator, it features cartoon character drawings and animation, alongside sing-along lyrics, so we can all join in with the nose glowing fun!

A yuletide enthusiast shows off her Rudolf The Reindeer costume in this Topic winning illustration by MS.

Complete with jingle bell pull ties, the ensemble includes a red cape, false ears, teeth, antlers, and a shiny red nose.

This Weeks Topic - "Christmas"

Ding-Dong Merrily On hi guys and gals.

Christmas has finally arrived!

And we’re celebrating it with a two week Bumper Topic Special!

At this magical time of year, festive traditions such as gift giving, tree decorating, carol singing, midnight mass, pulling crackers, and much, much more embody the Yuletide spirit in celebration of the Nativity.

Santa will also be making his annual trip as he travels the world on Christmas Eve, squeezing down our chimneys to leave presents for all.

Your Topic Flipnotes could be about any aspect of Christmas you choose. But why not choose your absolute favorite.

I love Christmas dinner and presents myself! How about you?

Have a Holly Jolly time everyone.

And a very Merry Christmas to you all!

We really love the way you're all so creative with these topics and look forward to seeing the Flipnotes you create for them.

Make sure to post your entries to the Weekly Topic channel Weekly Topic - Christmas 2023 and the deadline for your entries is December 31st (12pm EST / 4pm GMT).

We would also encourage you to add a description to your Flipnotes. This is your opportunity to explain any points of interest and specific details that we could feature in the topic winner reviews.

And don't forget, if you want a cool thumbnail picture on your Flipnote, whichever frame you save the Flipnote on, that will become the thumbnail. So choose your favorite frame for this, or add in a cool title page at the end, and save on that.

Keep on Flipnoting and the best of luck with your entries.
